The Impact of Focal Lesions on Overall and Progression-free Survival in Multiple Myeloma.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: In this study, we aimed to reveal the incidence of ≥3 focal lesions (FLs) and analyze overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) according to the number of FLs, as well as to identify mortality and PFS risk factors, in our newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 89 NDMM patients who underwent Results: While 57.3% of the patients had ≥3 FLs, 20.2% had no FL. The median OS and PFS were 55 and 43 months, respectively. The median survival time was 49 months for patients with ≥3 FLs and 101 months for patients with <3 FLs, with a statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: In our study, we observed significantly worse OS and PFS in patients with ≥3 FLs at diagnosis, and it is noteworthy that the OS was worse in those patients who did not undergo ASCT.
